My Grandma passed away this weekend.  We were as prepared for this as any family can be, but it has still been difficult to handle.  Most of all, I worry about my Mom and Grandpa.  She was the center of their world.  She hasn’t been able to do much for herself for many years… so Mom and Grandpa focused on her 24/7.  I’m glad they will be able to actually live their lives now… but they will be very lonely for awhile.  I’m also so happy that Gram is finally free of pain!

She truly was an amazing woman.  Although she was this tiny little thing, Grandma somehow managed to command everyone’s attention.  She lit up any room she was in.  Gram had a sharp wit, and the gift of storytelling (and after traveling the world, she had a lot of great stories).  She was adored by all!

I hope that I can be half the woman she was…
